Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a archaeopteryx? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a archaeopteryx.
Bring bolas when searching for them. These guys are fast, bring a crossbow or better to tranq them.
For the people that ask if archaeopteryx can be tame in mobile, the answer is YES. However it seems like Bola or tranq it while archaeopteryx on the ground won't work but tranq it while it still on the tree seems would work. Also bring some narcs or bio toxins cuz their torpor drain a bit fast. I already tamed 2 earlier 😆
These should be shoulder mounts. Disco, my Archaeopteryx from a dungeon, is absolutely amazing. Maybe have the saddle icon for gliding, and the pick-up icon for a shoulder mount? Just an idea. I love this dinosaur.
Tell me, tell me will it eat berries after tamed or they are chitin eaters? I want to tame one so i need to know
Up for chitin
Down for berries
This may seem obvious but if you see an egg TAKE IT! Once taken the female will agro you, knock it out with tranqs and then badaboom it's yours! These guys are a pain in the ass to find and/or tame so taking an egg is probably the easiest way to get em (especially on mobile since they glitch out)
Can occasionally be found on the ground. If so, bola and knock out with fists, I fear that anything else might kill it. Feed a little chitin and boom an adorable feathered parachute!
Just wait until they get down from the tree and Bola them
Whoever said that archaeopteryx is not technically a dinosaur and that no dinosaurs have been discovered with feathers, you are dead wrong. Archaeopteryx is the closest link to both birds and dinosaurs, and modern birds today are technically classified as dinosaurs, scientifically speaking. Also, modern birds did not exist long before dinosaurs. Archaeopteryx was the earliest known creature that could be classified as a bird. Dinosaurs had been around for about 80 million years before archaeopteryx. Also, many dinosaurs have been discovered or theorized to have feathers. Humans didn’t “put them on,” many theropod Dinos had feathers, proving that they are related to birds. The many feathered dinosaurs found at that site in China were not “made.” They we’re well preserved by volcanic ash in the area. It has been scientifically proven that dinosaurs had feathers, and evolved into birds. Don’t lie.
Someone said you can’t tame by bola on ground on mobile. That’s not true, i try to catch ones with bola then shot with bow and tranq arrow, it WORK. but have to use something like larger storage bc it high enough to cover you from wild animals and it won’t let archa run if they awake
On mobile next to impossible to tame the normal way, I just tamed one by grabbing it from the top of a tree and bringing it very far away from redwoods, then tranq it then tame it. Lots of work, but I love them so it’s worth it.
I found this thing near the redwoods and I fell in love-so cute.
Ok these are the best. I have one named Fluffy and here is how to tame one.
Get tranq arrows (I only had darts on me and it took me one dart)
Get bola
Find archy. This takes a while! Look in the redwoods.
Bola one and shoot. If there is two then you can tame both or live it free and in the wild (I watch Wild Kratts)
Feed it chitin. Bring more then the game tells you need. Always do this in case you need more.
Feed it narcotics if needed
Enjoy your fluffy ball of cute!
Been playing mobile since 2018(give or take) and never seen a female. Why?

litterally just bola and punch it. Be sure to have at least 10 chitin
THIS THING WHEN I TRIED TO BOLA IT SCREAMED AT ME
Super glitchy on mobile, half the time you can’t hit them wasting ammo and other times they will just teleport away. Wasted a couple hours trying to tame one. Not even worth it, got so close only for the game to glitch an to not be able to feed it narcos.
Use this with a gigantopithecus’s throw ability and you can get some serious speed and distance.
If you go to ocean East they spawn there in Gen 1
Where are they In genesis
Just tamed a lvl 145 female and lvl 150 male with only 5 simple kibble for both of them. That's on normal x1 taming on Xbox. They have pretty colors. Bolas, 6 tranq darts, simple kibble and BAM! Got yourself a cutie birdy.
Hope this helps!
